me, seeing how much hate Shuuji got and having little intel about the game: hm, maybe when I watch playthroughs and do some research i'll probably hate him too.. idk yet though..
me, who now knows and absolutely loves him bc I'm an analyzer and likes topics about abuse cycles: I WAS WRONG
So I’m currently in my frontier feels so imma just spout random headcanons
#1, whenever the group sees anything that reminds them of the digital world they would most definitely get all caught up in their memories of their adventure. It makes for great scenarios especially if there’s anyone close to them nearby like a friend or family member and they’re just confused as to why they stopped to stare at something
2#, I like to think that they inherited the enhanced senses, that they had back in the digital world, in the human world since I know it’d be most unlikely that they inherited physical things from the spirits so this is the second best for me to think about.
3#, they definitely would create code names for the digital world just in case anyone were to eavesdrop on them whether it be accidentally or purposefully.
4#, I feel like they would definitely go overboard with things like birthday parties, they would do anything to make sure that they made celebrations a special memory they’d remember forever.
5#, they most definitely remembered the days they got their spirits and threw parties for it(cause as Kouji said, it’s like they have two birthdays, one in the human world and one in the digital world)
Listen, I will forever accept Takuya as the shortest of the group(Tomoki doesn’t count as he’s younger than the rest) as canon and no one can stop me. The fucker is literally shorter than Izumi and while yes I know it’s most likely because of animation errors and not knowing the scaling of the characters but I always have the fucking image of Takuya being shorter than Izumi and Kouji stuck in my head
I remember back then when people complained that Plotmon/Tailmon became Holydramon instead of Ofanimon because it wouldn’t add up to the whole Tailmon and Patamon being counterparts thing when in reality it still added up because Holydramon was Tailmon’s Beast type Ultimate(or Mega if your a dub person) and Patamon also has a Beast type Ultimate which was Goddramon :/
AND THEY’RE ALSO COUNTERPARTS
People who infantilize characters with trauma, I immediately don’t trust
Almost died in the shower today, I slipped and my dumbass tried to grab the water.
I just wanna talk about the friendship dynamic of the 02 gang in both dub and sub
When I first watched it in the dub I found it odd how their friendship was not really much of a friendship, it felt odd how they exaggerated their personalities and even trash Daisuke for no reason, to be honest their friendship didn’t even feel like a friendship. In all honesty I felt like the only one who actually liked Daisuke for who he was in the dub was Ken :/
But the sub, it felt like an actual friendship, especially with the small banter here and there but not over the top like the dub and they actually got along nicely with one another. The “love triangle” between Daisuke, Takeru and Hikari felt more ambiguous and it wasn’t both Takeru and Hikari being jerks about Daisuke’s feelings like how the dub made them, it felt refreshing to see after having the disappointment of watching the 02 dub.
I will never forget when Taiki, Tagiru and Yuu fucking illegally crossed boarders via DigiQuartz just to visit Nene in Hong Kong
TAIKI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING AJEJOAJ
